The Photo Album

A 2-volume chronicle of the life of the members of an Australian family from about 1939 to the present. Variations of style abound, depending on the character portrayed. The life of the family also reflects greater events occurring in the world, in particular the Cold War and later the war in Vietnam. However, the main focus is on the individual developments of the very contrasting characters, their social relationships, their dreams, and sometimes their early deaths.
